Popular Nigerian entertainer and content creator, Yhemolee, has shared his candid thoughts on how social media is increasingly being used by some individuals as a platform for begging. The actor and nightlife personality, known for his outspoken nature, made this known during a recent Instagram live session, where he expressed his shock at the number of people constantly reaching out to him for financial help online.
According to Yhemolee, he finds it surprising how some individuals have turned social media into what he described as their “begging site.” He noted that while it’s understandable that people face hard times, the sheer volume of requests he receives daily has become overwhelming. He explained that many people now feel entitled to celebrities and influencers’ money simply because they are active on social media.
Yhemolee, who has built a strong fanbase through his vibrant personality and creative content, also pointed out that the sense of entitlement from some users has become alarming. He added that it is unfair for people to assume that public figures automatically owe them financial support just because they are doing well.
The entertainer emphasized that celebrities, like everyone else, also have personal responsibilities and financial commitments. He expressed concern that some people no longer see social media as a tool for connection, entertainment, and business but rather as a means to ask for money.
His statement has since sparked conversations online, with many Nigerians sharing their experiences with similar situations. Some agreed with Yhemolee, noting that the culture of online begging has indeed grown, while others argued that tough economic realities are pushing more people to seek help wherever they can.
Yhemolee’s remarks have once again highlighted the growing tension between celebrities and their followers regarding expectations, generosity, and boundaries in the digital space.
